A former Boise State quarterback and graduate of nearby Capital High School, Harsin has engineered one of the nation's top offenses and has helped lead the Broncos to an undefeated season.

Not only is Harsin's offense ranked ninth in the country in total yards,but his work as quarterbacks coach has helped develop Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore into one of the nation's top passers. Moore leads the country in passing efficiency, completing 65 percent of his passes for 38 touchdowns and three interceptions, good for a 168.74 passer rating.
